The Pigeonflex (ピジョンフレックス, pijonfurekkusu) is a TLR for 6×6 exposures on 120 film. It was the first camera to be manufactured by Yashima Kōgaku Seiki (later Yashica), slightly predating the Yashimaflex (both 1953).[1]
The Pigeonflex has Tomioka Tri-Lausar 80mm f/3.5 lenses, focused by movement of the entire lensboard. The shutter is NKS.
The camera was marketed by Endō Shashin Yōhin.
Some examples of the Pigeonflex are said to have been made not by Yashima but by Shinano Kōki (信濃光機). Variants with different lenses and semi-automatic film transport are also reported.
